Introduction

Use this guide to replace your Honda Accord's distributor rotor. This specific guide was created for a non-VTEC F23A5 engine, but other 4-cylinder Honda engines will be similar enough to follow the same basic steps. You may have to remove the engine cover in later Accord models.

In Step 6, the Phillips screw holding the distributor rotor in place is stuck and it won't turn for me. Any advice on removing that screw, when it is stuck in place? This is on a 1997 Honda Accord LX, non VTEC. Thanks...

Get a punch screwdriver. It's a tool that as hit the top it twist. Be care full not to hit to hard. Or if u can fit a angle die grinder cut one line through top part of screw. Use a big flat head screwdriver. Do not cut top of bolt too deep stop right before u get to the bottom of the head of bolt
